I thought about the issue of “driving hazard” as well. But don’t Air Force fighter pilots already use something along these lines? I’m honestly not sure. But if they can do it at 500 mph (or whatever) then it may not be as big a problem as we imagine.

But as a pedestrian I’m not looking forward to the guinea pig stage.....

The stuff in the Air Force’s HUD is flight related, basically a bunch of the information on their dash board so they don’t have to look away from their flight to see it. Not youtube videos.

I think a lot of people in this thread are looking for a reason to be offended.

Just as well say that they were going to have an accident cause they were studying something in their rear view mirrors for a few seconds.

If someone is going to have an accident because they can't focus their eyes, glasses aren't going to help or hurt in the long run.

Yes, in one eye IIRC, but they are highly trained. Big difference with some kid looking into stereo glasses or trying to focus on one eyepiece.
